Autopsy Autopsy vs Carlton & the Umpires

[CCurnow3votes]

It's not turning. You're still very average. Now go away.

Ahh but it is isn’t it

Have a great season.

Luke McDonald has been bad for four straight games to start 2023 and we need to talk about it, because it's hurting us...

serious?
I thought he was one of our best. Really stood up and put his body on the line… not sure what more you would want from him today.

I

It doesn't have to be much. See Logue.

He's gone to bump after the kick and hit him in the head. At a minimum it is 1 week.

Is Sheezle at risk of missing a week for that attack on Harry's elbow?

It's not and we will. Seriously, I have no idea why you're here but you're adding nothing of value.

Cunners looked a step off today. With Larks struggling we should have tried a small forward line with Cunners at FF. There would have been more movement creating space for starters.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Bit of luck with injuries and the tribunal and we would be 4-0 and clear top of the ladder. Small margins. The gulf between being lauded and shamed is minuscule. As for the umpires the less said the better. Carlton will have to hope they keep getting them get the line.

Larkey was invisible

Given where we are at we can’t be too disappointed with the outcome. Easily could have won either by kicking straight, or if the umpiring had been applied consistently both ways. I really enjoyed that we kept the pressure up in the last quarter this easily could have been a 100 point flogging. When we have key defenders back and Larkey playing uninjured then we will start winning games.

He was compromised...

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

Fantastic effort from the boys! There was a threat of being blown out and that’s when I feared the media headlines. However, the boys got stuck in and can hold their heads high

It would be nice to have a bit of our own slingshot happening

 

[Gasometer]

Silvagni and Motlop celebrating like flogs when 6-7 goals up in the last.

Our boys cracked in hard around the ground and had some physical presence, Carlton weren’t enjoying the contested footy. On the flip side, our defending when we don’t have the ball at time isn’t up to standard.

F50 entries still a huge issue, every team knows we just kick it on our talls heads. The amount of times McKay and Curnow had genuine one on ones with space around them is what we should be striving for. We are murdering our talls with entry.

**** I hate Carlton supporters.

Umpiring was disgraceful, but at the end of the day we lost the game through execution of skills and being undersized down back.

At the end of the day it’s just a game of footy and the club did a fantastic job today for the Good Friday Appeal and the Royal Children’s. Bigger picture I’m bloody proud of the club for the work that’s been done off the field to really help the community. A lot is right off the field and you can see the improvement on the field.

The question with SoS Jnr is will time run out before he sees a Premiership?

And that’s Daniel Motlops son. Wow, just wow

 

[GreatBradScott]

Building nicely. Positive signs on nearly every line, lots more kids and senior players to add.

A joy to watch again.

What a weak animal he was.

 

[CURVE]

Greenwood had 11 disposals and 4 tackles in a quarter, surely he isn't the sub next week.

 

[DocSholl]

Funnily enough, following the game, Jonathan Brown said it was another "harsh decision" against us that triggered the goal rush; the holding the ball against Cunners. He didn't fend off. He just didn't stand still when tackled like everyone else does. How that changes the end result is beyond me. It was still no prior opportunity and he was making an attempt to dispose of it.

After they literally didn't pay holding the ball for an entire half.

 

[William Caresser]

Larkey and the club's decision for him to stay out on the ground when he could barely move was absolutely dumbfounding

We had all the momentum around the ball but we basically had 17 men on the ground. He couldn't compete and then would just grab his hip. He was not bringing the ball to ground. He was a liability out there.

Shit take Chadwick, was BOG today.

Course he was, he could barely move

Observations:

- umps killed the game when it was neck & neck; you can’t put a price on momentum or indeed the deliberate arresting of it to favour another team
(this is the only game in the world where officials are so noticeable - are they all this bad or is this a contrived sport?)

- we kick straight, we overcome the Blues and the umpires

- could’ve been a blowout but wasn’t, we fought until the end unlike the past few years, the score looked respectable

- should’ve subbed Larks off for Greenwood, in fact Hugh should’ve started

- all of this without big defenders, Carlton is probably the team we needed them most for

- biggest crowd at marvel since ‘13, biggest between us and Carlton since ‘99 GF



I almost feel good about this loss. Almost. I feel like we should’ve won. Our kicking bothered me today but not as much as the umps and I don’t mean to feel this way but I feel like we’re purposely umpired out of the game because we’re a smaller club and the establishment don’t want us to succeed.
Today was either complete incompetence or contrived. And I can’t believe 4 “professionals” can be so consistently bad, so it’s the latter. We’re up against it. I’m f’n sick of it.

Oh well.

Oh.. and, most of all:

- Sonja

I think they should go back to 2 umpires. Half the ground each.. they’ve over complicated our great game

 

[Blues90]

North surely to be a smoked for finals their best is better than anyone in the bottom 8 ATM I'd say

 

[shintemaster]

It would be nice to have a bit of our own slingshot happening

Almost impossible when the backline is so undersized and have to play extremely tight to hold the talls. We did well and a couple of Cam Zurhaar straight kicks and a couple less gifts to Curnow and it would have been line ball. Good game all things considered.

 

[Nylex]

We will win this game next year

[Colby Cheer Squad]

s**t take Chadwick, was BOG today.

I'm wondering if Chadwiko has a private contest with TheZiebull for most shit takes in the Autopsy threads. Or does he just not football?
